I don't have a stake in this being A. not an Olympic fan and B. someone who wouldn't be able to afford a ticket even if given the chance and C. don't live in the UK or Europe at all.

That being said, the big point of having the Olympic games in your area is to draw tourists and people in to spend their money and boost the economy. So, yes, the people already there aren't the people any of the tickets are aimed at.
